Occupational health and safety rules are applied to control these risks in laboratory research and to minimize their effects. In this context, the things to be done in laboratory studies are listed as follows. Students, lecturers, and laboratory staff working in the laboratory should receive occupational health and safety training. Emergency plans, teams, and drills should be made for situations that may occur during laboratory studies. Chemical use, transport, and storage must be recorded in laboratory research. Physical inadequacies such as ventilation in the laboratory and work area should be eliminated. Chemical hygiene and an accident prevention program are recommended.

The physical properties of Gr can vary depending on the number of layers, and this unique property makes it a potential material for different electronic applications. In this study, few-layer graphene (FLG) film was spin-coated onto the InP semiconductor surface and the FLG/n-InP Schottky contact was produced. The properties and quality of the FLG nano-film were determined by using Raman spectroscopy. Parameters such as ideality factor, barrier height, and series resistance of Schottky contacts were calculated using current-voltage (I-V) curves. With the Gaussian distribution, the mean ideality factor of the Gr/InP contacts was found to be =1,47, and the mean barrier height values were found to be =0.68 eV. The standard deviation values were calculated as σ=0.32 for the ideality factor and σ=0.06 eV for the barrier height. In addition, the series resistance values were calculated from the Cheung functions and were found to be in agreement with the literature. Finally, the current conduction mechanisms of the Gr/n-InP structure were revealed by examining the logarithmic I-V characteristics.","PeriodicalId":12068,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72707219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to provide detailed information about fluorescence-based optical test strip readers, existing and emerging technologies, and their contributions to the design of the device. The most commonly used technologies of light sources and detection systems have been discussed and compared for the ideal design. Arc and Xenon lamps may not be appropriate for portable and low-cost devices as they are larger and more costly when compared to LEDs and laser diodes. Photodiodes and CMOS detectors can be used for the design of low-cost, portable fluorescence-based optical test strip readers as they are cheaper and smaller in size when compared to CCDs and PMTs. Both light source and detector should be chosen according to the application priorities and spectral characteristics of the fluorescent molecule by integrating them with proper optical elements like filters, mirrors, etc. This study contributes to the people who are interested in the design of fluorescence-based optical test strip readers as it serves as a guideline for the optical test strip reader systems.","PeriodicalId":12068,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"191 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74058207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usage areas of time series data include many applications such as financial market forecasts, weather forecasts, sales forecasts, medical diagnostics and stock management. Among the methods, there are techniques such as autoregressive integration, moving average, long-short-term memory neural network, time series condensation, wavelet transform and Frequency Domain. These techniques are chosen depending on the characteristics of the time series data and their intended use. For example, the ARIMA model is used for variable variance and non-stationary time series, while the LSTM model may be more suitable for capturing long-term dependencies. In this article, it has been tried to prove that time series based artificial intelligence systems can be built on fault movements, which are very difficult to predict on earthquake time series data, and it is quite possible to get useful results. In particular, deep learning methods are among the prominent methods in the article. Deep learning methods are used to detect complex structures and analyze large datasets to produce accurate results. These methods include multilayer perceptrons, long-short-term memory neural network, and radial-based function network. It is also emphasized that factors such as the selection of features used in earthquake prediction, data preprocessing, feature engineering and correct model selection are also important. As a result, the use of artificial intelligence techniques on earthquake time series data has great potential in estimating earthquake risk. Deep learning methods perform better, especially for large datasets, and more accurate results can be obtained with the right model selection. However, factors such as data preprocessing and feature selection also need to be considered.","PeriodicalId":12068,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73897599","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quantum sensors use qubits and their analogs as detecting and analyzing quantum elements. Some sensors can be based on a single qubit, which is often presented as a system making its evolution on the so-called Bloch sphere. Different criteria are used to evaluate the efficiency of the sensing process. One of the most popular is the Quantum Fisher Information Matrix (QFIM) based on Fisher information. The magnitudes of the QFIM elements are strongly related to the precision of the sensing. As an analog of the classical Cramér theorem, one can define the quantum Cramér-Rao bound for the variance V, which is equal to V = 1/NF where F is the corresponding quantum Fisher information element, and N stands for the number of repeated sensory measurements. In this work, we develop our quantum Fisher information-based approach for a single feedback-driven qubit-type element for sensing external magnetic fields. We demonstrate the efficiency of our algorithm and discuss its further possible improvement. The approach developed here can be easily extended to other sensing schemes: collective spin systems and multi-qubit-based sensors. Alternative control algorithms can be applied to drive the probe state vector for maximization of the QFIM components. The particular choice of the control algorithm is defined by the specific experimental set-up.","PeriodicalId":12068,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Science and Technology","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81033891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
